Use ssmtp to relay to qmail server

[noraz]

Hi, I'm not much of a sys admin, so please bear with me.

I have Bugzilla running on my webserver (Gentoo), and I would like to get the email functionality working. I have a separate email server running qmail on freebsd.

I'm wondering if I can use the default ssmtp program on the webserver to relay the Bugzilla generated emails to my qmail server. Has anyone done this or something similar?

On a side note, I'm assuming that I'll need to supply user name and password info unless it's possible to specify in qmail IPs from which relays are allowed. Any thoughts?

Thanks for any and all help.

On your qmail server eaxmine your tcp.smtp rules (don't forget to rebuild the database after you change these), this is were you permit relaying from particular clients. On your ssmtp machine set mailhub in the /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf file to the ip/name of your qmail server.
